No save on day 1. He already failed the initial save, therefore he takes the damage after the incubation period of 1 day. Each day thereafter he must make another saving throw or suffer the damage again.

Like others, make sure the dragon takes advantage of the water. It can freely cast its spells and use its breath weapon underwater. It's corrupt water special ability has a range of 180 feet. Make sure you attempt to ruin all the party's potions when they are close enough (Will save DC 20)...

Adult black dragons actually have 19 HD, and they get 1 feat at 1 HD and 1 feat for every 3 HD like every other creature. So an adult black has 7 feats. I also agree that Hover, Fly-by Attack, and Wingover are great feats for the dragon. The adult black, however, is only Large, so it could...

No. There are Natural Armor Bonuses as well as Armor bonuses. They stack. DMG, pg. 21

And the shield spell would still block magic missile spells.

I have not actually seen many. My players have stuck with one class or multiclassing that makes sense in game. One of the players wanted to take Arcane Archer, but chose Order of the Bow Initiate instead. He has levels in ranger, rogue, fighter, and wizard. The 15th level wizard will finish...

If you read the weapon description of the longspear in the PH, it says you cannot attack adjacent foes. I don't think the space/squares the ogre occupies is relevant. So if the ogre is adjacent I would say you cannot attack it with the longspear. Of course, you can always take a 5 foot step...

I would not say the warmage is screwed, but yes he can only use wands that contain a spell on his spell list. The same with scrolls, with the added requirements that the scroll be arcane and of a level he can cast unless he wants to risk an "accident." The simple answer is yes. Wands are...

After Spell Focus, Greater Spell Focus and Augment Summoning, Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot are good feats for all your ranged touch spells like the lesser orbs and orbs from Complete Arcane and Melf's acid arrow. Skill Focus (concentration) would be good when you take damage while casting...

That is correct. For a reference, check the Improved Grab description on page 310 in the MM.

Awareness determines surprise. If you are aware of your opponent but your opponent is not aware of you, you get a surprise round in which to act while your opponent does not. Your opponent is flat-footed. After the surprise round, the initiative roll determines the order of action. If you...

Actually, no. The players I DM for has a 15th level cleric. He has used his turn undead ability quite effectively, especially with encounters consisting of many undead of lower CR. Of course he cannot turn the undead BBEG. That would be anticlimactic, though. Also, there are many undead...

The action of charging itself does not provoke an attack of opportunity. See the chart in the PH on page 141 under Full-Round Action. However, note footnote number 1. If, during a charge, you move out of a threatened square, that movement provokes an attack of opportunity. This would include...

You're PC's are forgetting nothing. As long as you do not actually move during your turn, you may take a 5 ft. step. You may pull a potion from your pouch and drink it (a move action and a standard action), and then take a 5 ft. step. IronWolf points out the rule on this. A 5 ft. step is not...

Yes, it is. The raging strength should be 21. The raging melee attack stats are correct, however.

And your BBEG spellcasters can do the same. :]

Perhaps he is thinking that you mean by that that the attacker automatically hits his target without a need to make an attack roll rather than there is not randomness to target acquisition.

For burning stuff, it's hard to beat flaming sphere as a 2nd level spell.
